How to unlock the Easy street achievement in Payday: The Heist - Definitive Guide
This is one of the hardest trophies. You need to play the Heat Street heist on highest difficulty, which is Overkill. The trophy also requires that the entire team have an overall accuracy of 60%. Add each player's accuracy with each other and then divide the total with the number of players. The result should be at least 60 for the trophy.
To make this easier, make sure to use either a weapon with high accuracy like the M308 Rifle or a shotgun like the Reinbeck. If at least one pellet of the shotgun hits a target, it counts as a 100% hit for that shot. The M308 Rifle unlocks at rep 17 of the Sharpshooter tree and the Reinbeck unlocks at rep 13 of the Support tree. Good crew bonuses would be 'Sharpshooters' to increase accuracy and 'Protector' to increase the body armor. The team should choose either one ammo bag and three doctor bags, or two of each.
Turn off the 'Play with team AI' option since AI will ruin the accuracy. Even though it's possible to get this trophy in single-player mode, it would be quite hard for one player to complete the heist on Overkill difficulty with an accuracy of 60% without any AI.
A good strategy to do this is with 4 players. What you want to do is have two players complete the objectives and killing enemies while the other two hide. The players that hide need to kill 1 civilian with 1 shot to make their accuracy 100% for the entire heist. After that they should not fire any shots for the entire heist and only hide. The two other players who complete objectives should always hide during assaults and only do objectives and kill enemies in between assaults. The players who do the killing must keep accuracy on at least 20% each. The players who hide don't need any crew bonuses so let them hold a crew bonus that nobody else has. The two players who do the killing can have the same crew bonus if you want.
At the start of the heist, all players should run all the way to the van without killing enemies. You will skip a big portion of the heist and will save ammunition. It's risky but if all players stay together then the shots fired by the law is even out on all players. Run along the walls and use back allies to sneak past the enemies. Make sure to hide and regenerate your shields time to time before you continue running. Since it's at the beginning of the heist it's easy to restart if it doesn't go well.
There is a good place to hide at the van. You will see a few containers and a pile of gray bricks by the wall near the van. Jump onto the bricks and then jump up to the small platform between the green and blue containers. From there jump onto the red container and stay hidden there. All players can stay here while an assault is ongoing. When the assault ends, only the players who complete objectives will jump down and push Matt to the goal.
The players who kill enemies and complete objectives can increase their accuracy by shooting a dead corpse with a shotgun. You can only do this with the two shotguns in the game which are the 'Locomotive 12 G' and 'Reinbeck'.
All players that have played the heist from the beginning will receive the trophy once the heist ends.
PS - You should only start this trophy when you have this alignment - 145-145-145-145, otherwise you can forget about 60% accuracy, you just won’t survive.
